by Ludacris - a famous rapper. It has not only fashionable and glossy look but

feeling when being carried.
SL150 is the medium series of Soul by
Ludacris, one of the famous brand names about headphone in the world market. It
possesses good sound and design that has style like Beats by Dre models. While
Beats headphones has just had portable model, SL150 also has many other models.
Design
Soul by Ludacris SL150’s design is
completely different from traditional headphones. It is designed simply but
fashionably, and it’s difficult to confuse it with Beats by Dr. Dre – a countryman.
Youth
like Soul by Ludacris, a fashionable headphone brand name.
Logo with word S and Soul that is put in
the center of wall ears is prominent to users. Buffer of ears is made of
synthetic leather material that can be elastic and has high endurance.
Fashionable design of Soul SL150 is increased when producer adds 2 shining
metal borders that are around headphone border. However, cover is shining, so
SL150 that is black easily becomes dirty, saved fingerprints when using and you
need soft towel to clear.
Soul SL150 has seamless design. It is
simple and doesn’t reveal junctions, so it is different from most headphones
that have the same type in the market. However, this product is flexible and
comfortable to use. Ring frame that is made of thin steel and hidden inside can
adjust aperture. Perfect quality of Soul SL150 is very good when users don’t
make headphone break or damaged regardless of making it straight or close and
it will return to the first position.
Headphones of Soul bring comfortable
feeling to enjoy music. SL150 can be used well in some continuous hours. It
doesn’t cause tiredness of head because of ear pain or squeezing on head.
Buffer of ears has suitable size with kidney design, so it fits with user’s
ears to listen well. Keys that are near 2 buffers of ear allow users to break
or fold the headphone and then put it in in box tidily. The inside buffer
border is covered with skin, so it looks rather thick; however, they are soft,
light and creates comfortable feeling if you hear in a long time. In addition,
it also keeps noise-absorbing well.
SL150
has big design; however, it is easy to fold and put it in bag tidily.
Headphone cable is designed to draw out and
keep 3.5mm jack that is gold-plate and put in the felt hand. A noticeable thing
is that Soul SL150 cable has flat design and thick rubber and especially it
isn’t untidy although it is folded. 3.5mm plug is connected with mobile
equipment and is gold-plated to ensure that sound is transmit well. It has L
design and this thing is different from normal form to avoid phenomenon of
folding and breaking cable.
Each of SL150 headphone is used with 2
cables: one is solid and the other is integrated with micro and controller to
use with telephones. This controller can be used to set volume, control music
that is similar to Apple smartphone’s headphone. Moreover, Soul also gives a
hard carrying case that can contain headphone and cable inside to travel
easily.
Sound
To test sound, Soul SL150 headphone is used
with iPhone 5 through 3.5mm jack and people also use source of music from
iTunes, in 256 kbps ACC formatting, without running across Head-amp.
SL150
has good sound; however, it is suitable to young people and eventful music.
The first song that was chosen was Forget You of Cee Lo
Green, a rapper that is similar to Ludacris. Sound from the beginning is rather
overwhelming when it shows strength and liveliness of drums. Cee Lo Green’s
high voice is shown rather clearly, smoothly, not intensively. For Only Girl of Rihana
and On the Floor of
J.Lopez, Soul SL150 shows the ability of performing bass smoothly, reasonably
and it barely stimulates emotion without feeling full of ears like Beats.
After songs that have quick and strong
rhythm, SL150 was tested with Hotel
Califonia that is recovered by Yao Si Ting; MP3 formatting
with 320 Kb/second. With songs that have slow and smooth rhythm, Soul’s
headphone also shows ability of showing bass. Prelude part of song and strong
rhythm of drum are good. Appearance of guitar’s sound, SL150 shows the feeling
that sound is sticky and seems to loose details. The ability of headphone’s
showing space isn’t impressed, it lacks depth and has dark feeling. Producer
doesn’t reveal technological parameters such as frequency range, impedance or
loudspeaker’s size particularly.
In general, if you choose the right taste
of music, sound quality that the product brings is better than price. Soul
SL150 seems to be suitable to kinds of music such as R&B, Pop, some Rock
songs or electronic music that fit young people.
We can see that Soul SL150 is the direct
competitor of Studio model of Beats through look and sound. Its competitor has
price for portable good is approximately $286 while genuine SL150’s price is $285.
